For sale is a marvelous Near-Mint example of fine German watchmaking. The Glashütte Original Senator Perpetual Calendar (ref. 39-50-01-11-04) was winner of the prestigious Uhr des Jahres (Watch of the Year) in 2000, and is still regarded as one of the most legible perpetual calendar layouts ever devised.

This outstanding timepiece was designed with legibility in mind. Underneath its sapphire crystal, the matte silver dial showcases refined dauphine hands, faceted baton markers and a crisp outer minute track. The oversize panorama date display, elegant moon phase indicator and handsome central sweep seconds hand make reading the the watch a snap. The day and month windows are equally clear, as is the 4-color year indicator just below the dial signature.

With a diameter of 39.3 mm and thickness of 12.4 mm, the Senator Perpetual Calendar is a highly versatile watch, appropriate for both dress and casual wear. It features GO's superb 48-jewel Cal. 39 movement, which beats 28,800 times per hour and has a power reserve of 40 hours. The rhodium plated, fausses cotes-decorated movement gleams through a sapphire display back, which also reveals a swan's neck regulator and the eye-catching signed rotor, complete with 21K gold rim weight.
--Serial number (02XX) and movement number (183XX) have been partially hidden in photos.--

The watch is mounted on a beautiful GO alligator strap with signed 18K rose gold deployant clasp. The buyer will receive both boxes (including glossy white outer box in perfect condition), original setting pin, all manuals and hang tags, and the unopened GO promotional DVD that initially accompanied the watch. I will also include the invoice from a complete factory maintenance service performed in Glashütte in 2007.
